The current Fortec Star
DVB-786NA receiver does not support AC-3 audio (i.e.
PBS stations) at this time. It only supports PCM digital audio output through the S/PDIF conector on the back of the receiver. Future production will incorporate the
AC3 into the digital audio output. When that happens, we will update our product description (
http://www.sadoun.com/Sat/Products/F...vers/786NA.htm )to reflect this upgrade.
To get the digital PCM sound you will need a special digital audio cable like the one found here:
